I have been able to get a tab like effect using an encoded string:
Dim EncodedString As String = " "
Dim writer As New System.IO.StringWriter
Server.HtmlDecode(EncodedString, writer)
Dim DecodedString As String = writer.ToString()
strNewItem = "Data to Add" & DecodedString
lstTheListBox.Items.Add(New ListItem(strNewItem))

It didn't show in my first reply.
Using the encoded string, I have been able to get close to a multicolumn or tabbed listbox.
It works about the same with

Private Function PadHTML(ByVal numberOfSpaces As Int32) As String
Dim Spaces As String
For items As Int32 = 1 To numberOfSpaces
Spaces &= " "
Next
Return Server.HtmlDecode(Spaces)
End Function
